Château de Pez 2025

Lovely clear fragrance. Purity of red berries straight away, this is super refined and juicy. Wow this is exceptional, so pure and finessed, beautifully fine and filagreed. There’s density but no overt muscularity and flesh. This is straightforward and well defined, more layered than dense – so beautifully presented. There’s a real refinement here at Pez, one of the best Ep samples I’ve tasted from this estate – a salty, black liquorice undertone. Juicy, fruity, supple with clarity and poise. Almost chalky tannins with a wet stone grip on the finish. Just delicious. 3.6pH. A yield of 39hl/ha. Ageing 50% new oak. Drinking window: 2030-2038. (Georgina Hindle,decanter.com)
